Montezuma to Santa Teresa
After a week in Montezuma we are off to Santa Teresa, an easy westbound drive across the southern tip of the Nicoya peninsula. After Cóbano the road becomes pretty rugged and narrow as we go deep in the jungle. After the second river crossing I start doubting that we are going in the right direction. There is no cell or GPS signal but the car's …
On the Beach in Santa Teresa
There are lots to love in Santa Teresa, not least of which is... the beach. Endless strip of white sand with near-perfect waves luring surfers into the warm water. Keep in mind this is the end of the wet season so the weather is not as perfect as it will be in a few weeks, and the beaches still carry some of the wood branches brought by the storms …
Der Ruf der Wale
... bißchen verschoben werden musste, aber um 9 Uhr sassen wir dann mit Regenjacke im Boot und so langsam ließ sich auch die Sonne blicken. Wir hatten auch Glück und waren nur zu 4 auf dem Boot (ein Hoch auf die Nebensaison!).
Und dann haben wir schon die ersten Wale gesehen. Eine Buckelwalmutter mit ihrem Kalb. Die beiden waren ca.100m vom Boot entfernt und sind immer wieder kurz aufgetaucht. Per Handy wurde unser Kapitän dann ...
Our secret Beach Mansion
Everyone said it would be oh so difficult, near impossible, to find a house in Santa Teresa by the beach during the holiday period without breaking the piggy bank. Well it was tough but with faith, luck, and a great agent (Dahlia from Costa Rican Vacations) we landed ...
Howler Happy Hour
... still lots of surfers out there, it think they were more there to see the sunset than because of the waves. Caron pointed out the other night that the minute the sun dips below the horizon all of the boards pivot 180 degrees.
Dinner at Mary's was nice with the fresh amberjack with mango salsa, that Tricia and Michelle ordered, taking the prize for platte de jour. Terry and I had the fresh mussels that were good but came with a little too much of the beach included. ...

“A fantastic place to stay - quiet, beautiful, great location”
Reviewed Nov 19, 2011
Rooms are very spacious, especially the loft ones with high ceilings. The hotel is well built, beds are comfortable, and the staff is excellent. The location is ideal: far enough from the main road that you don't get bothered by the noise, yet close enough that you can walk to the beach, even if you carry a surfboard, as long as you are reasonably fit: it is a steep and rugged terrain (I find it fun). We particularly appreciated the "quiet after 9pm" policy which is a great plus compared to many hotels in Santa Teresa and Playa Carmen that cater to the party crowd. We were here to relax in a peaceful atmosphere and Canaima Chill House was the perfect getaway for that. It's one of those few places that are better for real than on the photos. Although the slogan includes the word "rustic", the hotel offers full comfort and is very well built. It doesn't have AC but the location on a hill offers natural cooling, complemented by ceiling fans inside the mosquito nets. We stayed 9 days and didn't miss AC once. The staff at Canaima is extremely helpful and goes way beyond the normal call of duty to make sure you have a great experience. Oh, and did I mention that you see plenty of wildlife in the trees surrounding the hotel, including monkeys, birds, iguanas and squirrels? Sometimes the wildlife wakes you up a bit earlier than you'd like... but hey, it's jungle... and if you want to make the best of your stay in Costa Rica you will rise early anyway! I highly recommend Canaima Chill House to any traveler looking for a peaceful, relaxed and beautiful place to stay in Santa Teresa.
